Vintage
2015, a vintage full of beautiful weather and wonderful warm nights, brought a second consecutive spectacular growing season to Oregon. 2015
was one of the largest fruit yielding vintages on record, tied with 2009. The perfect weather during bloom and flower set the vines to dense berry
and cluster size. Density of the clusters averaged 200 grams at harvest. As the rain came in late October, harvest was well over and wineries were concluding fermentation. The key to Purple Hands Winery’s outstanding flavors and balanced wines was timing the harvest before temperatures
soared and all acid was lost.
